Steely Dan. Oleander is the giveaway, that’s from “My Old School.” Kerosene is from “Kid Charlemagne.” Zombie is from “Haitian Divorce,” although I first thought of “All You Zombies.” Can’t think offhand of where Blueprint is from.

All my artists have been identified and all the songs except jollification,decorously and ** belladonic** from artist #1.decorously and jollification are not all that well known,although decorously was more popular than jollification.Belladonic,however,was from a huge hit.
Well,you should see that jackboots hasn’t been identified either from artist #2.

‘Decorously’ is from Brighton Rock delivered in a high falsetto.
‘Belladonic’ is from Keep Yourself Alive. A bigger hit in Europe than the US.
‘Jollification’ is from Seaside Rendezvous from A Night at the Opera.
Yep, and “rubbing” is from “Minstrel in the Gallery.” I was trying to stick with some of Tull’s best-known songs; I just realized I should have used “nuts” from “Bungle in the Jungle”!
I’ll guess Warren Zevon: Johannesburg = “Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner”, Baghdad = “The Envoy”, and Denver = “Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead.” Don’t know about Vladivostok.
Labdad–You’re quite correct, sir! I assumed that Vladivostok would be the most obscure of the 4, but I just love that he managed to work it into a song.
It’s from the song Turbulence off of Transverse City. “We’ve been fighting with the Muhajedeen, down in Afghanistan. Comrade Gorbachev, can I go back to Vladivostok, man?”
